Its been awhile since I've posted an update on the build. Gets a little depressing every now and then. Here's where we're at...
We have something not right with the C6 tranny. When we get the engine fired up (more on that) the car doesn't want to move until the RPMs get above 3500. She won't even creep along at idle. Most people we have talked to, think the stall on the converter is not the issue and it must be something not engaging correctly in the C6.
I went ahead and got a brand new AOD with matched converter from TCI. Its been bench tested and dyno'ed. We have the car on the calendar to get the trannys swapped out on the 21st. I'll have to get a new driveshaft made after the swap.
The next issue is now the engine doesn't want to fire. Thought the Holley might be the issue after all the electrical and fuel issue DV worked though a month or so ago. He swapped it out with a Carter/Edelbrock, but after starting right up a couple time. Now she doesn't want to fire up and seems to get flooded almost immediately. Not good
Well the car did get winched onto the trailer and I got it delivered to Bakker's to get the carpet done this week before the car heads for the tranny swap.
here's a couple pics...
At this point not looking good with the driving season coming to an end
And others, I have just spent 4 hours going over this thread, still only half way thru it all. I positively have learned much about building my CRL, I am sure it has saved me from asking questions which have already been answered in this thread.
thanks tons for the time spent documenting this build
